41chevy Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Went to the Mack dealer today for parts and saw 6 new Macks with Gold Bull Dogs on the hoods. Looked close at them and saw they were labeled as Pedigree Powertrain. Mack built engine, tranny and axles.

Green Dash Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Had they discontiued using the gold dog on the purebreds? I thought the reason they were less common these days because most customers were using outside vendors for transmissons and rears. My company has Visions and Pinnacles from the years '07-'12 but use Fuller trans so no gold dogs in that house. Either way, it's always good to see one, let alone 6 together.

The 6 are for the Town of Smithtown.

I then remembered that in NY speak, town is short for township and a village is what others might refer to as a town. I've been away too long.I see there is a Mack and a KW dealer along the L.I.E. in Medford. I would've loved to see them as we drove by when I was a kid, had they been there at that time.

Mack 3P Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Gold Bulldogs have not gone anywhere. Most exports get a gold dog. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25225-the-gold-dog-is-back/#findComment-120536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in several places on the Island including Port Jeff Sta, Selden, Mastic, and Shirley, but would never say Brookhaven when asked what town I lived in, although that would technically be the correct answer.
